Professor Watson Smith OF Owens
College, Manchester, Eng says OF dyes {:
Formerly they used to rely principally
upon vegetable dyes Of animal origin.
The vegetable or wood dyes, however,
had to a large extent disappeared, and
there were not many OF these with which
they needed to trouble their minds, be-
cause they had been replaced and would
be still further replaced by other mate
rails. There were really only two Of
these vegetable dyes remaining indigo
and Iogwood-all other wood dyes hav-
Ing been already more or less
replaced by coal-tar. Lac dye
had been entirely displaced, end
the consumption Of cochinesl
had been reduced to probably less than
200 tons per year. a great deal hzs been
said against coal-tar dyes. They were
told that these dyes were fugstiye and
poisonous, and that there could not be
produced from them as fae shade as
WAS obtained from the vegetable dyes.
Now, all this Yves fallacioUs. II ell that
had been said against coal-tar colors was
true, one would naturally De led to sup
pose that the consumption OF them would
decrease. But what WAS the tsct? Why,
in the last year the con, nption Of these
coal-tar colors had increased more than
So pei cent. Trade last year was bad
al over the world-they hoped
that this year it might be better-yet
this increase OF consumption had taken
place, quite exclusively, he should say, in
compound colors. No f.brics were now
dyed in shy of the pure colors, and the
increase of consumption had taken place
in iudiciously blending these colors with
themselves or with vegetable dyes. A
card of Spring shades, 1887 being l5C
different colors obtained from coal tar
without indigo or any vegetable dyes, was
shown. These colors comprise msny
bright and most delicate shades"

BOsTON's STRIKER.
Cars Run Through Under Protec-
ton of the Police.

BOSTON, Feb. 2l.-The Cambridge rail-
road officers, in no way discouraged by
the events of Sunday, ran their first car
through East Cambridge this forenoon
without molestation. Doubtless this free
dom from interference was due to the
police arrangements. The car had an
oEiesr on each platform and there were
mounted police in front and on either side
OF II The car passed along through
the district where the riot occurred
yesterday without even so much as
shout greeting 1t. Officers were posted
at almost every corner. At South Boston
the first car on tia bay View line, which
has been closed since the strike began,
! was started this morning. Two ponce
men were carried as free passengers, and
the car was also accompanied by TWO
mounted policemen.
Both the Cambridge and South Boston
strikers have started stage lines, which
| are we'll patronized.
The hoodlums who attacked the Cam
bridge horse cars and police yesterday
were in court to-day, and sentences
ranging from 500 and costs TO one year IN
the house of correction were imposed.
Many of them appealed their cases 10
higher courts and were held in from $5O0
to 81 900 bonds for their appearance.
NO CONCERTED ATTACK.
There have been no concerted attacks
| upon the cars OF the Cam bridge railroad
\ during to-day but several cases OF assault
| are reported from there since dark. TWO
| shots were fired on the Pearl street route
| by some one in hiding. One or two ladies
narrowly escaped being hit by the bullets,
| the only damage done. however. being
| the breaking of windows. A short
time later stones we're thrown at another
car of the same line, breaking windowe.
| About 8 O'Clock as a North Cambridge car
was passing Sacramento street large
block of granite was thrown by some per-
son secreted near stone yard, striking
| the driver of the car and knocking him
senseless. The company has run cars on
all its routes upon schedule time to-day,
| but abandoned some of its most dangerous
routes at O'Clock. The night cars are
all run under police escort.
FEARS FOR TO-DAY.
There are fears of trouble tomorrow, 1t
being a holiday, and the streets will
probably be thronged with an IDLE crowd.
| AS q precautionary measure two State
militia companies located in Cambridge
and the Grand Army posts have been
| placed under arms and are ready for SER
vice at a moments notice. Details of po-
lice from Lynn, Salem and Lawrence
have arrived tonight, and it Is understood
| that a detachment is coming from
Worcester in the morning. The Mayor
has requested saloon keepers to close
their places of business during the day.

Premature Speculations.
iron, the Reto York Sun


What will the President do when he re-
turns to private life?" asked one New
York man OF another to-day. 81 can tell
you precisely" said the other. HE will
not 60 back to Buffalo, but will make
his home in Albany or New York city,
more likely the latter. from his sayings
while in the White House. He will pur-
chase large. handsome house in the emil
nently respectable and not too fashionable
part of'tbe city, perhaps Gramercy Park.
Mrs. Cleveland Will continue her social
career in manner not enjoyed by any
wife of an ex-President since the days of
Dolly Madison. Mr.. Cleveland will fit up
for himself down town an elegant law Of
fee, in which he will spend very little
time and really do very little work, as he
will only desire a nominal place at the
bar. He would not expect very much of
a very lucrative practice. But what Is
he going to live on? That's the rub of
the story to which l was about to come.
He will be made the President of one or
two. possibly more, large new business
corporations, to whom his name, his hab-
its of industry, and reputation for good
common sense and strong will power will
easily be worth anywhere from $4,000
10. $780, 900 year. In short, he will repeat
on little larger scale what Secretary
Manning has been asked to do"

MAIDS WITHOUT A MAN.
"How to be Happy, Though Single
Discussed With Good Humor.

Cdsselps Aa2,tsine for February.
We lately wrote book which has been
most favorably received called "How to
be Happy, Though Married." but we
think that quite as much might be said
on the possibility OF single blessednsss.
Thousands of women and even OF men
cannot marry for one reason or another.
Let them cultivate the contented state of
mind of that old Scotch lady who said: ~
wadna gle my single life tor a. the double
anes | ever saw" People may admire
the marriage state and yet have their own
good reasons for not entering 1t. Under
the dying pillow of Washington Irving
there was found lock of hair and min
iature. Who wilbsay that a man or wo-
man ought ito marry who treasures up
such memorials, and thinks of all that
might have been2
ImpecuniosIty is another reason for de
nyIng ones self the luxury Of awite. A
mistake may, of course, be made as TO the
amount of money necessary Tor marriage.
There are those who could drive coach
and-two, but, waiting for coach-and-
four, they are carried into the desolation
of confirmed bachelorism. That man,
however, is much to he pltled who leads
pure life and whose 81 can't afford IT" Is
no mere excuse. Let him continue to
WOFk anu eCOuOmlLe, anu pSlOA0 f0IS
long he will have:
"a guardian angel DER his life presiding.
Doubling his pleasures, ana his cares diyid-
lng.".
And here we must protest against the
foolish and cowardIy ridicule that is
sometimes bestowed upon elderly men
and women who, using the liberty of
free country, have abstained from mar
rying. Certainly some of them could
give reasons for spending their lives out
side the temple OF Hymen that are far
more honorable than the motives which
induced their foolish detractors to rush
in. Some have never found their other
selves, or circumstances prevented the
junction of these selves. And which is
more honorable. a life of loneliness or a
loveless marriage? There are others who
have laid down their hopes OF welded
bliss for the sake OF accomplishing some
good work, or for the sake of a father,
mother, sister or brother. In such cases
celibacy is an honorable and may be a
praise worthy state.

THE GREENBACKERS.
The National Committee Declines to
Dissolve the Party.

dissolve the I-arIys
CINCINNATI, Feb. 21.-The National
Committee OF the Greenback party met
this morning at the Burnet House, with
E. b. Gillette, or Ohio, in the chair, and
a fair attendance of members and others.
MIR. Schilliug, OF Wisconsin, opened the
the discussion with a proposition to de-
clare the Greenback party dissolved at
once, so as to unite untrammeled in the
formation of new party, which is to be
organized at the convection which meets
tomorrow. This proposition was very
generally opposed by all who
spoke, not so much because Of
objection to its spirit, but to the form.
1t was urged that this committee at this
meeting has not the power to dissolve
the party. 1t was also urged that il it
had clear power 1t would not be good pol
icy to exercise 1t until after the coming
convention has submitted it's principles.
These views prevailed and committee
was appointedito report to this commit
tee on the matter after the adjournment
of the convention.
Henry George arrived to-day and was
escorted to his hotel by delegation from
the Henry George Club.
j. b. Rankin, a prominent Knight of
Labor from Texas, freely expresses the
opinion that ii Henry GEORGES land doc
trine is approved by the convention the
Southern adherents OF the labor party
will repudiate the whole thing.
